The system in the US is just totally dysfunctional, and I know a complex issue. But in essence it's using a lot more money than comparable countries but the benefits don't even compare remotely.

The mother recovering after giving birth is a health care matter, but that usually takes 6 weeks in most countries. I fully agree that USA has a major problem with the healthcare system, but that is a different matter.
